Nest of Three Lacquer Tables Mother of Pearl

This is a beautiful Victorian nest of tables with great charm dating from around 1880. The tables are in lacquered papier mache beautifully hand gilded and inlaid with mother of pearl. The largest table has a stunning chess board design with fine mother of pearl detail and hand gilding in super original condition, with only minor crazing. The other two graduating tables have a design matching the top one and are in lovely order for their age. They are all in very good order generally with a couple of insignificant and faint marks (best seen in photo 5). These measure 68cm high and the largest table top is 49cm by 37cm.
